Economic Uncertainty Challenges Fed's Rate Decisions

According to Odaily, Generali Investments analyst Paolo Zanghieri highlighted in a report that the unpredictable economic policy statements from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration have introduced significant uncertainty, complicating the Federal Reserve's tasks. Zanghieri noted that the health of the U.S. economy suggests the Federal Reserve is unlikely to rush into rate cuts until some policy uncertainties are resolved. He referred to comments made by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell last week, stating, "We expect this to be the main message of the March meeting, with the Federal Open Market Committee's current stance—two more rate cuts this year and two more in 2026—remaining unchanged."
